WHO PAY TIE PENSIONS

The total income of the United States last
year was 1886, i39,727. OF this amount
S63, 401 .S64 was paid out again for pensions
That ia, about 81 in every $685. received by
the Government was paid out to discharge
the Nations debts to its soldiers. Let us for
convenience say that the proportion was 81
in So. This will enable us TO roughly fix
the amount of BURDEN that is imposed
upon any man by reason of these payments
TO veterans. As every one knows, the bulk
of the receipts of the Government is paid
by those who buy foreign Injuries, jewelry,
champagne, etc, and domestic beer, whisky
and tobacco products.
The duty on foreign cologne and other
perfumery is 81 gallon. Whoever, there
fore, uses gallon of German or French CO.
logne, pays about 40 cents to keep some old
soldier in bread and meat.
The duty on foreign figs is cents pound
Whoever eats a pound of figs pays half
cent into the pension fund.
The duty on French kid gloves is 80 per
cent As these are VIGOROUSLY undervalued,
the contribution TO the pension fund of the
man or woman who purchases pair of AL
exandre's" for 81 is probably not more than
three or four cents
The duty on foreign ale, beer and porter is
80 cents gallon. Every one who drinks
gallon of English ale, therefore, contributes
five cents to the support of the disabled vet
Grams.
The duty on French brandy is 81 gallon.
1t takes an ordinary man a long time to
drink gallon Of French brandy, and even

TIE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

Comrades, it is our duty to plant ourselves
firmly on the platform that there must be
no reduction in the Nations revenues until
it pays its debts to its soldiers.
Let us be earnest and united in asserting
that any reputation of the just claims Of
the men who fought the country's battles is
more dishonorable than would have been
the reputation Of the debts due the bond
holders.
Not a dollar must be taken off the rev.
enue nor from the surplus while there is q
veteran in the poorhouse, or while any SOL
der is denied the relief which his services
and sacrifices in the field earned for him.
Let us inscribe the recommendations of
the National GAR Pension Committee on
our banner, and rally around it in solid
ranks for battle which shall not end ex-
cept with complete victory.
If we do this, disabled veterans and their
widows, orphans and dependent parents all
over the country will rise up and call us
blessed.

WORK OF the PENSION OFFICE.

There were $3.50 applications received
during the week ending Nov. 5, 1887, of
which 791 were original invalid; 325 wild
ows; war of 1912; 10 bounty land claims
5 navy claims; 156 on account Of Mexican
service, and 2261 applications for increase.
The total receipts of mail matter during
the week were 49,13s pieces. There were
1896 letters and circulars sent out. There
were furnished for the use of claimants 1892
names and postofiee addresses of officers and
comrades. The number of examinations re-
ported were 1854. The amount of fees for
these examinations was S11, 1913, an average
cost per examination of $3.50.

then he has only helped the pension fund
40 cents worth.
Foreign silks, including all kinds of rib
bons, laces, hosiery, velvets, etc, are taxed so
per cent al rdlOrem. 1t is hard to get at just
how much man pays who buys Paris
made dress for his wife, for the garment is
invoiced very low at the custom-house and
the dealers profits are immense. 1t is safe
to say, however, that not more than two per
cent of the value of the dress finds its way
to any pensioner.
Champagne wines pay $3.50 dozen on
pint bottles. That is 30 cents a bottle.
Therefore, whoever drinks a small bottle of
champagne contributes 5 and four-fifths
cents TO saving some veteran from seeking
shelter in poorhouse.
Coming home to our products, we find that
man has to drink gallon of whisky be-
fore he pays 90 cents into the Treasury of
the United States, of which Is cents is de-
voted to the payment of pensions. AS there
are at least 100 average drinks in every
gallon Of whisky, and the average price is
10 cents drink, the drinker contributes
about $40 to the till of the barkeeper before
he pays Is cents to the pensioners.
The tax on beer and ale is 81 barrel of
81 gallons. OF this but 90 cents reaches the
pensioners. The average glass of beer is
about half-a-pint, or 496 to the barrel of 81
gallons. The usual price being 5 cents
glass, the beer-drinker has to pay the thrifty
beer-seller about $24s0 before his contribu-
ton TO the pension fund reaches the price of
four glasses of his favorite beverage. He has
to drink key of beer, and pay the man who
sells it to him by the glass $500, before his
contribution amounts to nickel.
The tax on cigars is So per thousand.
Of this 60 cents is disbursed through the
Pension Bureau. Allowing an average Of
three cigars day, smoker will have to
smoke industriously for nearly year before
the pensioners receive GO cents from him.
His donation to the soldiers on a whole box
of cigars is only cents.
The tax on cigarets is so cents per 1000.
OF this 10 cents goes to the pension fund.
The young dude has to poison the air with
these nOxious things for week or so before
the pensioners are nickel richer on his ac-
count.
The tax on snuff and smoking tobacco
is cents a pound. A pound of smoking
tobacco lasts even the most inveterate smoker
a long time, and when he has consumed it
he has only made the pension fund about
II cents richer.
These are facts to be remembered when
the burdens" of the pension-roll are con-
sidered.

THE tendency to cling to stupid old things
just because they are old, seems inherent in
all peoples. For example, Germany has
sense enough to emancipate herself from the
dreary old botch of Gothic spelling, which
still hangs as milestone around the necks
of all English-speaking people, but she will
not discard the clumsy old Gothic letters,
which France, England and Spain threw
aside hundreds of years ago. The best
writers and thinkers in Germany nave adj
vocated for years the change from the Gothic
to the Latin alphabet, but the people still
cling to the old letters, and Bismarck him
self steadfastly refuses to read any book not
printed in the old-fashioned letters.
